A woman with long dark hair in a pale blue cardigan sits by a window, holding a knife upright on a desk

A man with collar-length dark hair in a brown shirt sits at a table with noodles, candles and a mantel behind

A raised open hand with a small red spot on the thumb, against a blurred grey patterned wall

A woman with long dark hair and a white sleeveless top smiles and glances sideways, a lit floor lamp behind her

A raised fist with a ring on the little finger grips a slender blade against a dim grey wall

In dim light, a man in a pale sweater looks toward a wet-haired woman with blood on her face and blue top

Two hands, one at a striped blue shirt cuff, open a pair of silver scissors against a blurred patterned wall

Low view through a doorway of legs in white frilled socks and black platform Mary Jane shoes on a wooden floor

A short-haired figure in a pale sweater lies prone on the floor as someone in a blue dress stands in the doorway
